During a recent visit to the dedicated Brooklyn team house for his North American esports squad, Team VGJ Storm, Nets point guard Jeremy Lin spoke about wanting to instill a proper “team culture and healthy habits” in his Dota 2 players.
Lin is a co-owner of the Storm and its China-based Team VGJ counterpart, Thunder, as well as an eight-year veteran of the NBA, whose starring 35-game stint with the neighboring-borough Knicks prompted the Linsanity rage that adorned consecutive Sports Illustrated covers and brought life-changing attention for the Harvard-educated guard.
